Internships and Summer Opportunities

for Mathematics Students

There are many outstanding internship and other summer opportunities that
allow mathematics students to apply and expand their knowledge in an academic,
business or other professional setting as they earn money. Below are
listed several such opportunities; if there are others that should appear
here, then please mention them to Prof. Calvis of the Department of Mathematics and Computer
Science of Baldwin-Wallace College.

Academic Programs

The REU program offers talented undergraduates in mathematics an outstanding
opportunity to work on actual mathematical research at various college and
university campuses around the country under the guidance of faculty supervisors.
This competitive program would be especially valuable to students who intend
to pursue graduate study in pure mathematics. Participants are provided
with stipends and often housing for the summer as well.

This Institute is conducted each summer under the guidance of the Miami University Department of Mathematics
and Statistics; students participate in problem seminars in mathematics,
statistics or computer science, prepare for the GRE, give and attend presentations
and participate in other activities intended to further their professional
development.

The Institute for Operations Research
and the Management Sciences is a professional organization for these closely
related fields. This Service allows students not only to browse existing
intership opportunities advertised by employers, but also to post applications
of their own for prospective employers to view.

The National Security Agency,
responsible for "the centralized coordination, direction, and performance
of highly specialized technical functions in support of U.S. Government activities
to protect U.S. communications and produce foreign intelligence information",
offers challenging summer opportunities to top-caliber undergraduate mathematics
students.
